# <pre> # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. # This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better, # go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to # tz@iana.org for general use in the future). # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). # # Gwillim Law writes that a good source # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries # of the IATA's data after 1990. # # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards. # # Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and # ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote # suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST). # I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome # _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use # in Europe and South America. # -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in # H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466 # # Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style # for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say # "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in # the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06): # The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in # Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasilia time" is considered the # "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city. # The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or # "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such # name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time". # So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now. # Corrections are welcome! # std dst # -2:00 FNT FNST Fernando de Noronha # -3:00 BRT BRST Brasilia # -4:00 AMT AMST Amazon # -5:00 ACT ACST Acre ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # Argentina # From Bob Devine (1988-01-28): # Argentina: first Sunday in October to first Sunday in April since 1976. # Double Summer time from 1969 to 1974.

Rule Arg 2000 only - Mar 3 0:00 0 - # # From Peter Gradelski via Steffen Thorsen (2000-03-01): # We just checked with our Sao Paulo office and they say the government of # Argentina decided not to become one of the countries that go on or off DST. # So Buenos Aires should be -3 hours from GMT at all times. # # From Fabian L. Arce Jofre (2000-04-04): # The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando # de la Rua on March 2, 2000, because it would make people spend more energy # in the winter time, rather than less. The change took effect on March 3. # # From Mariano Absatz (2001-06-06): # one of the major newspapers here in Argentina said that the 1999 # Timezone Law (which never was effectively applied) will (would?) be # in effect.... The article is at # http://ar.clarin.com/diario/2001-06-06/e-01701.htm # ... The Law itself is "Ley No 25155", sanctioned on 1999-08-25, enacted # 1999-09-17, and published 1999-09-21.

Each issue from then until # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), # Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. # From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): # <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html"> # Brazilian official page # </a> # From Jesper Norgaard (2000-11-03): # [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] # http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm # http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. # # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will # take place on October 27th. # # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. # From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): # Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: # http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario # Oficial da Uniao"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: # # a) The timezone UTC+5 is e[x]tinguished, with all the Acre state and the # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the # timezone UTC+4 # b) The whole Para state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just # part of it, as was before. # # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, # 1913. # From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24): # Just correcting the URL: # <a href="https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008"> # https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008 # </a> # # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall # be created to represent the...west side of the Para State.

It is anticipated that the clocks will revert back at 2 # am on Sunday 21 April 2002 and advance to summer time at 2 am on # Sunday 1 September. # From Rives McDow (2001-02-13): # # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is # what was said then: # # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time') # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time # as UK or Chile." # # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true? # # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers. # # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her # customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner. # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05): # For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no # better info. # From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01): # The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on # daylight saving time. # # One source: # <a href="http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3"> # http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3 # </a> # # We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly: # Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the # third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3 # hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs. # # IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands # will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer # time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011.
